DEAN VARDELL TRACES
HISTORY OF THE PIANO
{Continued from Page One)
proper the pianoforte, meaning soft-
The advantages of the piano are
many. The instrument can give com
plete harmony along with the harp
and organ, though these are not com
monly known as solo instruments.
On the piano the voices are limited
by the number of fingers and the
reach. No orchestra plays in a wider
range than the piano affords. The
piano is the ideal child’s instrument,
because it is found in practically
every house, and a child can experi
ment, explore and learn a great deal
without taking a lesson. The piano
has the greatest literature in the
world, with the possible exception of
the voice. Solo instruments need a
background, and the piano is always
relied upon. The fact that the piano
has not the ability to sustain the
notes might be classed as a weak
ness, but this weakness has been used
to good effect.
Tlie question, “What can you do
with a piano.” was summed up by
Mr. Vardell with the following re
sults. To a non-professional pianist
the piano offers the greatest means
of self-expression of any instrument.
To a professional pianist there is
open a career as concert pianist.
However, Mr. Vardell stressed, in
order to be a concert pianist one
must spend hours, weeks, and years,
acquiring technique. One must have
higli mentality, a mind that can take
in a work of art in its entirety. It is
essential to have the ability to ap
pear well on the stage, have poise,
and being entirely materialistic, have
backing—that is, money.
There is the profession of teach
ing, not to be considered a last re
source, but rather a wide field, rich
ly rewarding if one is enthusiastic
and interested.
The profession of accompanying
requires skill, hard work, and the
ability to be master of all situations.
In summing up the lecture. Dean
Vardell impressed upon his audience
the fact that in all musical studies,
voice, instrumental, or organ, one
should know the piano thoroughly
and be able to play. All great
musicians, in whatever field they
excell, know their pianos!

THERE’S romance in a Chesterfield—
the romance of fine tobaccos from all
over the world. The search begins in far-
off Turkey where Chesterfield buyers visit
every important tobacco-growing section...
and continues throughout our own South
land where buyers inspect every crop. Year
in and year out Chesterfield gives to its
smokers the *'pick” of all these fields.

Dear Miss Take,
It looks as if all the girls are try
ing to take their week-ends home and
else-where before the six weeks tesit.
Mary Louise Fuller is not the least
bit love-sick, so she is going to
X. C. C. W. There are some people
wlio can’t get enough of girls’
schools. Julia Lee Little is taking
her roommate, Mary Flora Law
rence, home with her to Ansonville.
I liope Mary Flora won’t try to pul!
a sick stunt like Jinny Nall. Upon
my word Virginia Hankie is going
to take her retreat for Saturday and
Sunday in Rural Retreat, Virginia.
Henrietta Redfern (“Red” to us),
will be with her parents, for a few
minutes anyway, in Monroe. Kath
erine RatJedge is going to spend
Sunday in Advance.
There are some seniors taking ad
vantage of their privileges. Nina
Way Credle is going home to Wash
ington, North Carolina. Mary Kath
erine Tliorp will let the Salemites
take care of tliemselves, while she
lets her parents take care of lier in
Fries, Virginia. Mrs. E. R. Preston
visited Salem Wednesday ai
part of her baggage here. Anna
Preston is going to be witli us for a
while.
Other girls are expecting callers
—at least, tliat’s what I hear from
tlie beauty parlors. Then those of
us left to keep the home fires burn
ing will attend tjie fashion .show

OF COURSE
YouWant Your Child to Win
If any one told you that you,were making it needlessly hard for your
boy or your little daughter to get on in school you wouldn’t believe it
could be true. But are you giving your child or your children the good
light they need for their home studying?
In many of the schools light is still poor, so it is especially important to
provide good light where oJiildren’a home work is d»ne.
See that the lamj>s they use are of sufficient wattage to give plenty of
light and that there can be no glare in their eyes, either direct or re
flected.
Poor light makes concentration difficult, brings on fatigue and drowsi
ness quickly, is damaging to young eyes, and is often responsible for
faulty posture, which is a danger to be guarded against.
